Pathways to suicidality across ethnic groups in Canadian adults: the possible role of social stress.
BACKGROUND Ethnicity is an important determinant of mental health outcomes including suicidality (i.e. suicidal ideation and suicide attempt). Understanding ethnic differences in the pathways to suicidality is important for suicide prevention efforts in ethnically diverse populations. These pathways can be conceptualized within a social stress framework. METHOD The study examines ethnic diffe...
Differences in cellular Na+ and K+ regulation may relate to the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and the predisposition of blacks to this disease. To explore these tenets, we examined several aspects of cellular Na+ homeostasis in serially passed, cultured skin fibroblasts from 30 subjects (15 hypertensive blacks and whites and normotensive subjects matched for sex, age, and race.) Fibrob...
OBJECTIVE To examine food concern (FC) and its associations with obesity and diabetes in a racially diverse, urban population. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based survey. SETTING Five boroughs of New York City. SUBJECTS Lower-income adults (n 5981) in the 2004 New York City Community Health Survey. RESULTS The overall prevalence of obesity was 24 % and was higher among FC than non-F...
Background and Purpose—Stroke mortality is higher among US blacks than it is among US whites. Few studies have examined racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among stroke survivors, especially among Hispanics. Methods—Data are from 96 501 persons aged18 years or older who participated in the 1999, 2000, or 2001 National Health Interview Sur...
PURPOSE African Americans are at increased risk for diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and rural residents have historically had decreased access to care. It is unclear whether living in a rural area and being African American confers added risks for diagnosis and control of diabetes and hypertension. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and hypertensio...
Neural control of blood pressure (BP) has been reported to differ between young blacks and whites. We hypothesized that elderly blacks have enhanced sympathetic neural responses during orthostasis compared with elderly whites. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity, arm-cuff BP, and heart rate were recorded continuously, and cardiac output, stroke volume, and total peripheral resistance were measure...
CONTEXT Little is known about the relationship between race/ethnicity and depression among US blacks. OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence, persistence, treatment, and disability of depression in African Americans, Caribbean blacks, and non-Hispanic whites in the National Survey of American Life. DESIGN A slightly modified adaptation of the World Health Organization World Mental Health vers...
BACKGROUND The genetic background of atrial fibrillation (AF) in whites and African Americans is largely unknown. Genes in cardiovascular pathways have not been systematically investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined a panel of approximately 50,000 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 2095 cardiovascular candidate genes and AF in 3 cohorts with participants of European (n=18,...
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing rapidly, particularly in Asia. Asian immigrants in Western countries are a fast-growing population who carry both intrinsic risks due to their genetic background and extrinsic risks associated with Western lifestyles. However, recent trends in diabetes prevalence and associated risk factors among Asian immigrants in the USA are no...
